OSAIN| OSAYNE| ORISHA OF MEDICINE AND HERBAL ATRIBUTES

Osain is a nature orisha, ruling over forests and other wild areas as well as herbalism and healing.
Osain has one eye and one arm. He hops around like a bird on one leg. He does have two ears: one is huge, but the other is tiny and shriveled up. The huge ear is deaf, but the little one is so acute it can hear the sound of a single flower crying or the flap of a butterfly’s wings. He has a tiny squeaky voice, possibly similar to the voice of plants. He is forced to use a twisted tree branch as a crutch, which is a common symbol for him. A pipe might also represent him .Osain, divine herbalist and powerful sorcerer, knows all Earth’s botanical secrets. Osain is the guardian of all medicinal plants. Osain may be invoked to help identify herbal cures and to enhance the magical and healing powers of plants.
ANIMALS: Parrots, roosters, turtles, and goats, snakes
COLOURS: yellow, brown, red, green, white
Osain expects offerings like tobacco, coins, and alcoholic beverages like aguardiente from those who harvest forest botanicals. Leave offerings at the harvest site.
